This morning I've done my first purchase on the online store, where can I get the items I bought? Didn't pay enough attention to the little letters 😅

polar hound
#

mailed to the character you selected, if not there you can request delivery at the top but will take a lil time (could be few mins or hr+)

i have a question when does the lvl 60 dragoon quests get unlocked?

honest anvil
#

After you finish the lv58 quest?

leaden ginkgo
#

im not sure which ones exactly but i finished the ones in the camp but still I couldn't find new ones after em

honest anvil
#

under msq

#

your current job quest is displayed there

#

Click on it to see its location?

leaden ginkgo
#

nowhere to be found

honest anvil
#

or check your journal in case you’ve have accepted it

gusty island
#

is there a quick way to tell which items are 100% spiritbond or is mousing over and checking the stat individually the best i got?

honest anvil
leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

#

wait no

#

let me check

honest anvil
#

If you have then next quest is a SB quest

#

which you need to be in the SB part of msq to do it afaik

hey gguys i got a question

#

i was in the game and got logged out

  1. Can I play my same account on both PC and playstation?

  2. Can I have different HUD setups for both or will I have to adjust every time I change?

Servers down for anyone? - phoenix server

honest anvil
#

Oh then you’re not in HW yet ...

wintry chasm
#

Yeah you need to reach HW MSQ

astral field
#

Just got straight up booted

wintry chasm
#

Then you can do the HW job quests

astral field
#

Oh yeah nevermind.... 1400 player queue 😂😂

digital thicket
leaden ginkgo
#

are you sure? my friend told me he reached hw and still didn't unlock them I thought we missed it or something

quick void
#

Hey, I'm downloading FF14 for the first time, I' wanna play a fast high dmg melee character and I thought about the Rogue/Ninja, nor sure if there is better options, but I can't start as this class?

leaden ginkgo
#

early kind of

astral field
leaden ginkgo
#

took me two days

quick void
#

So what would be the best class for me to start of with then?

leaden ginkgo
#

the one you like the most

quick void
#

Okay, thanks 🙂

astral field
#

Its all relative 🙂

quick void
#

So it has no effect on my rogue class which I start with?

leaden ginkgo
#

nope none

astral field
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
#

you can use every class in the game when you unlock em

wintry chasm
shut panther
#

Picking a class that starts in limsa is preferable.

digital thicket
shut panther
#

Mrd does.

quick void
#

Okay thanks

astral field
quick void
#

Someone said pugilist, cause I need that at 15 to make Ninja? Is that true?

leaden ginkgo
wintry chasm
shrewd owl
#

monk is also quite fast iirc

quick void
#

I'll probably just go Maurader till 10 then rogue till 30 then Ninja

#

Monk seems more fun tho, but that's a worse starting point?

wintry chasm
#

You'd need to hit level 15 main story quests to get rouge then

#

So it's a tad slower

polar hound
#

Idk what youre using for info Noiz but yeaa...Try to stick with Gamerscape (regularly updated) or ask here etc if unsure

#

there really isn't a 'worse' starting point really...you will access all city-state areas by the lvl 15msq

leaden ginkgo
#

When you rejoin you just get kicked again

#

huh ? Why i cant enter POTD

quick void
#

So pugilist need level 15 to get access to all city areas, while Maurader starts in the zone where the rogue quest is? And therfore faster? Is that correct?

polar hound
#

need a little more context but looks like your gear is lacking for whatever it is

quick void
#

So Maurader can get it at 10 then?

agile laurel
#

Marauder starts in the same area Rogue unlocks

#

Pugilist doesn't

quick void
#

I see, thanks

agile laurel
#

The third in that area would be arcanist

polar hound
#

faster is subjective...you are required to do the msq regardless so up to you. If you want marauder and rogue off the bat then yea but it wont take very long to unlock the others too

quick void
#

And Pugilist will need level 15 to get there? There is no way to go on a long journey and run there as a pugilist at level 10?

#

I see, thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

why i cant enter floor 41 to 50 POTD

polar hound
#

god no different continent

agile laurel
#

Yes theoretically, if Limsa wasn't on an island

quick void
#

My biggest hurdle right now is the download

agile laurel
#

requiring boats you wouldn't be able to access

quick void
#

Servers are throttling me at 16 mb/sec 😦

#

So slow

leaden ginkgo
#

go with a class you you think you will like though since you might not like the rogue/monk when you unlock them

agile laurel
#

!faq quicklauncher

polar hound
#

@leaden ginkgo you need to get higher aether weapons.

quick void
#

24 min left

zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
#

consider this

polar hound
#

i think you need 13/13 or 15/15

#

do 1-50 again

agile laurel
#

it's 3rd party but it doesn't actually matter

leaden ginkgo
#

wdym

#

do it

#

again

polar hound
#

go into potd floors 1-50 and get silver chests

#

kill bosses

#

upgrade your gear so you can progress

quick void
#

I'm just gonna start off as Maurader, see how it goes, I really have no idea what I even like.

leaden ginkgo
#

how can i enter

#

lower floors

leaden ginkgo
#

rather than choosing blindly

agile laurel
#

be advised mrd is a tank, so it'll be on the basic side kit-wise to start

polar hound
#

you posted a screenshot of you hovering over the "enter the palace of the dead"

#

that would be a good start.

quick void
#

Is CTRL an important key in the game? 😛 I know this is a weird question, but I just cba to get a keyboard that has CTRL.

leaden ginkgo
#

which floor i enter

polar hound
#

reset progress on one and free up a slot

#

then you can

quick void
#

There aren't that many abilities that I need modifiers, is there?

leaden ginkgo
#

i should reset my prograss

potent lava
#

You can enter from floor one or floor fifty one
The fifty one being unlocked after hitting 60

polar hound
#

yeah but you need a certain aetherflow gear level to queue 50+

leaden ginkgo
#

i didn't hit level 60

polar hound
#

so it's generally accepted to run 1-50 twice as this will get you that

#

you have two save slots so reset one and start over on it..get a few more levels of gear and you can keep going

leaden ginkgo
earnest garnet
#

CTRL+1 etc

polar hound
#

yep, delete it

earnest garnet
#

you can change it to ALT, but personally i using both CTRL and ALT

polar hound
#

as it says you will start back at level one but your gear will not - focus Silver Chests and boss kills to upgrade the gear

quick void
leaden ginkgo
#

i have to pass the nightmare again

#

sigh.

#

thanks.

quick void
#

I just need a soldering device and I can probably fix my keyboard

leaden ginkgo
earnest garnet
#

you can configure hotkey yourself, until you find that you really cant fit in those skill any more and need ctrl then maybe you get a proper keyboard that time

leaden ginkgo
#

its a matter of preference

polar hound
#

People generally stick with the usual Q/E/R/F etc and variants of Ctrl+/ Alt+ and/or Shift+ on mouse or kb

#

and 1-5 or w.e is comfy

#

mmo mouse is very viable and some have luck with mouseover stuff but i prefer controller even on pc

quick void
#

I got my Noppoo Choc mini from the storage...

#

Smells off endless hours of WoW Arena...

agile laurel
#

most jobs have 3 bars of abilities

#

or thereabouts

leaden ginkgo
#

welp it will hurt for around a day if you play for 20hours straight

agile laurel
#

at least 2

polar hound
#

2 1/2 to 3 yea..even those little cliche use abilities do ofc have uses.

stone spear
#

after collecting full handsaint crafting gear how do i go from there?

honest anvil
#

Depends on what you want to do

polar hound
#

well, where do you want to go from there? ^

#

Handsaint gear cannot be over/pentamelded to reach necessary caps. Aesthetes gear can.

#

Depends if you want to invest that much into pentamelding.

olive vapor
obsidian patio
#

if you want to do 4-star crafting you'll need Aesthete gear melded to an extent, or full handsaint with the finished skysteel tool

olive vapor
#

You may find yourself struggling with the UI though, which use a lot of key with CTRL as a modifier, make sure to change them to ALT and it should be alright

obsidian patio
#

if you don't care about 4-star crafting, then full handsaint is all you need

misty dome
#

Uhm... did my game broke? o.O

obsidian patio
#

servers are having trouble at the moment

#

bit of a hiccup for Chaos

misty dome
#

oh. i was scared, something messed up <.<

gritty oracle
#

Chaos crashed again?

polar hound
#

appears that way.

#

@stone spear if you grab the doh role from #612757637813239808 and check the pins in #doh-dol-lounge maybe that could assist you with finding your next crafter/gatherer goals if you aren't satisfied where you stand now til EW^^

quaint brook
#

Thanks for that tip, i never knew that xD

void cargo
#

can you de-rank once you reach 25 in zadnor?

hoary kayak
#

no

polar hound
#

@quaint brook there's also an option that you can disable?enable? that allows you to target alliance members while your weapon is unsheathed. I think by default that is turned off so you have to sheath your weapon to right/left click to them

void cargo
hoary kayak
#

yea you only lose mettle

void cargo
#

but my rank wont drop to 24 or seomthing right?

alpine shadow
#

no

crystal bluff
#

No

void cargo
#

oh thank god lmao

alpine shadow
#

everyone would be rank 1 once we managed to exchange proofs of mettle's

polar hound
#

@quaint brook sorry for double ping but i found an image stating what I meant ^^

radiant oriole
#

about the resistance weapons, will i be able to change the stats on the 535 one whenever i want if i have the sealants? or will i have to do the previous steps again

obsidian patio
#

sealants are all you need to change the stats

radiant oriole
#

at any time? i have the augmented laws order one rn and idk if i should wait until i have the 535 one to fix its stats

proud willow
#

if you're not raiding, incorrect stats are pretty much inconsequential

obsidian patio
#

It's only 400 poetics to change the stats, so it depends on how much you currently value poetics

#

like if you're trying to gear up other jobs with poetics

quick void
#

Ohh no, there is character creation in this game...

#

See you all tomorrow

obsidian patio
#

yes there is?

#

oh

quick void
#

No you don't understand

#

This game has Character Cration, Wow has " Character Creation "

#

Guys how much is the DPS difference between DNC and other DPS? Or in general, does anyone of you have a chart where the exact raid DPS is compared?

Many ppl say that Maschinist for example is rly good but others say its not im soooo confused what is good and what not. (Im just talkin‘ bout DPS classes)

quick void
#

Can you pay for race change later in the game?

obsidian patio
#

yes, $10

quick void
#

So if I wanna change to ummm, asking for a friend.. Viera if my "Friend" ever decide to buy the game, that's possible?

balmy kettle
#

@short novai think most DPS classes are balanced, but some do better than others in certain situations. I.e low movement fights Black Mage would clear up.

obsidian patio
#

you'll need to buy shadowbringers to change to a viera, but yes.

#

You can use this site to look at statistics and general damage ranges for each job, both in personal damage and raid damage

#

!faq fflogsdps

zinc orbitBOT
#
What is the difference between rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?
  • RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
  • Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
  • aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)

I just did a GATE and was wondering how many times a day/week/etc these occur? I had lots of fun'

obsidian patio
#

every 20 minutes

short nova
#

Thx all✌️

quick void
#

One more question

#

Someone told me race didn't matter, but I see starting attributes on them

obsidian patio
#

the difference in stats you see in them stay the same at max level

gritty oracle
#

Those attribute differences are so miniscule

quick void
#

Okay I see

gritty oracle
#

they're negligible

obsidian patio
#

so that 6-8 points of difference at level 1 is still 6-8 points at level 80 when you have thousands of the main stats

quick void
#

Can't decxide on Hyur or Au RA

obsidian patio
#

Au Ra feel like they have stiffer emotes for me, but the extra customization for the eyes is pretty nice.

short nova
#

Miqo‘te❤️

obsidian patio
#

(Male Au Ra for the emote part, females are decently expressive)

quick void
#

And then I need to decide Raen and Xaela.. Never gonna finish with this.

u can move glamour plate slot from 1 to 15?

Is there a way to one-button nuke a glam plate, so all glams on it disappear?

Hey guys, I’m quite new and I’ve been playing MNK which I now have at lvl 52. However I’m getting quite bored of it and wanted to try out a tank such as darkknight. My question is how much slower will solo content such as MSQ be as a tank? Since I probably won’t be doing as much dmg

People retainer randomly spawn in world map. If they are in venture

obsidian patio

you're going to outlevel MSQ hard anyway

Does Gear in Dungeons have an equal drop rate or are some pieces more likely to drop than others? I've run Swallows compas almost 20 times synced and a bit more than that unsynced, and had things like chokers in the same loottable drop 5-6 times by now, but the healer boots never drop. Is there any info on drop rates in FFXIV?

obsidian patio
#

unknown, it's assumed all gear have equal rates of dropping with no RNG protection.

#

datamines don't show drop rates of stuff since that's stored server side.

hollow briar
#

Anyone know how to turn off recurring sub on mogstation? I don't even get an option to select/deselect a recurring option

obsidian patio
#

cancel subscription, NOT service account

hollow briar
#

Is it a "recurring" sub because I'm still on the free sub and it's gonna charge me for first month once this ends and then it'll go to normal or?

dry vine
#

Or subscribe with Crysta, so it can't automaticly resubsribe 😄

obsidian patio
#

if you choose a standard subscription it's recurring by default.

hollow briar
#

Ohhhh

#

No way to change that?

obsidian patio
#

not as a standard subscription

#

if you don't want it to be recurring, set the preferred payment option to be Crysta, which only makes it take payment if you have crysta for it to use

#

or downgrade to entry subscription unless you see yourself wanting multiple characters in one world

hollow briar
#

Ok I gotcha

#

Ty

#

Even with card info it'll still ask me before I purchase other things correct?

#

I would assume

obsidian patio
#

yes

deep shell
#

in order to do the relic reborn quest on free trial do I have to level up all the jobs myself?

obsidian patio
#

You'll need to level up the needed crafting classes, yes.

deep shell
#

does leveling gsm takes time?

#

I mean, is it gated

#

by cooldowns

obsidian patio
#

the only "gate" is the levequest allowances, which can be used as a repeatable mini-quest for earning experience.

versed bison
#

what's edgier, DRK or DRG ?

obsidian patio
#

of which you get 3 allowances every 12 hours.

versed bison
#

or the eventual REAPER

deep shell
#

ok, guess I'll start that.. how can I see which other crafting classes I need for this other than GSM?

obsidian patio
#

Tie between DRK and Reaper until we see more about reaperr

#

crafting classes are pretty intertwined with each other, eventually to where a decent number of crafts need multiple materials from other crafters

#

the general advice is to level up basically all of them together, with culinarian being an exception since it only makes food and fishing bait.

deep shell
#

oi vey.. ok then

#

thanks

proud willow
#

Fair warning, doing Relic Reborn all the way through while on the free trial is a hellish undertaking

obsidian patio
#

(Also note that relic weapons outside of the current expansion are effectively just for looks, as you can buy weapons that are just as good as their final version for vastly less effort)

I feel like that's not worth choosing a class over tho

#

but idk

#

kind of a fringe situation

manic rune
#

any class is fine to start with

quartz bear
#

im tryna be a dps of some sort, i dont mind dying to over leveled monsters

elder root
manic rune
#

then choose a dps class

#

it depends on what kind of battle aesthetic you like

elder root
#

the more complex ones are pug/monk and rogue/ninja

#

so you might want to avoid those

#

the rest are generally pretty easy I think

manic rune
#

do you like being all up close in the action? or do you like to be hitting from a range

agile laurel
#

everything's easy at early levels

elder root
#

that's true

manic rune
#

or do you like being a mage with powerful magic

agile laurel
#

just don't buy a skip and you'll understand any job's kit

elder root
#

I do think monk and ninja get pretty complex compared to the others

manic rune
#

it's all subjective

#

just choose what you think looks coolest

elder root
#

if you ask me I think the easiest for a new player is probably archer

#

since you can hit from range and kite

quartz bear
#

bet, thanks yallElezenInLove

elder root
#

and no channeling since you're not a caster

tender ice
#

Which job has that pull ability?

#

That moves someone to you or something

manic rune
#

healers have rescue

#

black mages have aetherial manipulation

tender ice
#

Oh so all healers

#

Thanks

manic rune
#

yes, but rescue has a long cooldown time and isn't regularly used

tender ice
#

The only time I ever see it used from my POV is on Syrcus Tower when people dont get on the platforms on final boss

#

Just wondering which job used it

manic rune
#

yeah, people often use it in *labyrinth of the ancients on the ancient flare mechanic

#

it's helpful in those cases, but rescue timing can be very finicky

midnight tinsel
#

i used it in that snow dungeon to pull people behind the pillar at fenrir

spring copper
#

why are there so many afk people outside the bozja entry npc? its packed

obsidian patio
#

people AFK in Bozja/Zadnor and get kicked out by the instance auto-kick timer

midnight tinsel
#

@quartz bear btw i would argue for trying out arcanist yoru a dps that has a pet and can heal themselves and you get a free healer specc that levels with your dps spec at 30

manic rune
#

if you afk for more than 10 minutes inside bozja, the instance removes you and kicks you out to gangos

#

some people also stand in gangos to advertise their party finder for extreme/savage content since that's where a lot of endgame players are

deep shell
#

does alt class leveling take time? queuing as DPS takes a long time, I'm wondering if I should level a tank job for faster queues

I assume that since retainers can't join grand companies they can't wear grand company gear since you can only wear the gear of the grand company you are part of. Otherwise level requirement?

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

ebon needle
#

It seems decent.

#

I'm still pretty new

polar hound
#

Gladiator is by far the most boring tank to level, imho.. but it gets so better as it does.

#

and by boring i mean slowest pace and also their Rage of Halone combo becomes absolutely useless after Goring Blade unlocks.

ebon needle
#

Because its good at it?

polar hound
#

All tanks are good at tanking, it's just slower paced compared to others because we lack 'burst' phases until way later so its a lot of repetitiveness early on for Glad.

#

I do main PLD though with that being said, SHB made them so much nicer to play.

ebon needle
#

I might just need to look up a guide on rotations too. Not 100% on it yet.

warm snow
#

All tanks have pretty boring rotations tbh

polar hound
#

I can help but what level even are you? your rotations wont fill out til like 70+ usually

ebon needle
#

Only 25 atm lmao

flat yew
#

when is the daily reset for the roulettes?

polar hound
#

yeah, others get burst phases earlier though so its kinda personal taste..the slower pace is nice though for sure. For job quest/story, DRK has objectively the best and PLD kinda just sticks around the GLD stuff

#

ah yeah so lemme check for ye

ebon needle
#

I was thinking of going drk because it looks cool lol

grim plover
#

to play paladin do i need to level gld?

ebon needle
#

But gotta hit 50 first right?

faint flare
zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

1 hour, 48 minutes, 15 seconds

polar hound
#

yes

flat yew
#

ahh thanks vinyl

polar hound
#

GLD turns into PLD, DRK is DRK, Marauder is Warrior, GNB is GNB

flat yew
#

I'll remember that command

polar hound
#

so...yes but no lol

#

because by that time if you dont story skip, you will be beyond 50 at that point.

ebon needle
#

Gotcha

polar hound
#

you could swap to gnb at 50 though i think without all that..50 or 60 i forget heh but same for any expansion job SB+

faint flare
#

60

grim plover
#

gnb is what im currently thinking of maining

polar hound
#

HW is the only one requiring you reach that expac to become drk/ast/mch

#

GNB is the busiest tank with all the double weaving - not my style for tank play but definitely still viable and good.

Hello everyone, I was playing FF14 always on the PC and got now the PS4 version too. But the PS4 version has an other Square Enix-ID connected to the PSN Account than the one I use for PC. Is there any way to reset this?

polar hound
# ebon needle Gotcha

so at 25 you dont have much, as expected. your rotation really is just "spam the glowy shit - at level 26 you get Rage of Halone which is a combo-ender for RIot Blade

compact bridge
#

hey guys just a quick question i have ff 14 on pc and ps5 but i dont know where to play it on any recomendations , fyi on ps5 its in 4k on pc its 1080 p

grim plover
#

pc is my opinion

faint flare
#

Either is fine

polar hound
#

So Fast blade>riot>rage of halone is your only 'spammable combo' at 26. at 54 you can completely and utterly replace Rage of Halone with Goring Blade because its way more potency. This is true until you unlock Royal Authority at 60.

faint flare
#

It's preference

polar hound
#

and as for additional tank tips - Use your defensive cds on trash packs. never save for bosses in dungeons. and please by all accounts read and use Arm's Length and Reprisal as defensives

#

at 22 for reprisal and 32 for arms length in the Role tab

polar hound
upper cove
#

At end game, how often is reprisal and arms length used by GNB?

polar hound
#

end game you mean savage raids or?

upper cove
#

I just started learning gnb and looking through the skills. Theres a lot more mitigation tools

#

Savage yea

wintry chasm
polar hound
#

reprisal is 10% flat dmg reduction so A LOT

#

most bosses will ignore slow effect on arms length HOWEVER you will still use it for knockback immunity

upper cove
#

Alright so still usage as per normal got it

polar hound
#

Uptime = more dmg = less damage the enemy does overall because it dies faster.

#

Basically in savage groups (statics) you and your co-tank will coordinate where to spend your reprisals

supple mica
polar hound
#

Usually used for really big hurtful raidwides

#

because of course buffs/debuffs are multiplicative in ffxiv so addle+reprisal+heart/veil/shake etc

#

(also most savage mechanics, and by most i mean a good 90%+ are magical damage so Reprisal works for both whereas Feint only works on physical and Addle on magical atks)

upper cove
#

Looking forward to start using GNB. I was intimidated by the vast toolkit given straight away, but after using my own (limited) experience and arranging the skills to what I feel I'm comfortable with. It doesn't feel so scary

polar hound
#

You're fine! it starts at 60 so has a LOT more heh but basically

upper cove
#

The extra single target combo does potentially mess up my usual tank hot bars

polar hound
#

all tank cds and such can be placed in very similar spots as they are all very similar in nature.

upper cove
#

I took a look at the full tool kit today

polar hound
#

so keep that in mind if you want to swap tanks around

spiral inlet
#

anyone got any advice

#

for BLU power leveling

upper cove
#

Its really a tank with dps rotation

polar hound
#

(i.e. put reprisal, rampart etc in same spots on both chars)

#

it is

upper cove
#

I had to make some shifts to have it make sense for gnb

polar hound
#

gunbreaker is the busiest tank with way more double weaving than the others, their invuln is kinda meh but overall LD is "worse" without a whm

upper cove
#

But overall no biggie

#

Living dead seems like he most challenging to outline off without coordination. But time wise it seems like it gives the most invul with living+walking dead

honest anvil
#

how do i import waymarks?

polar hound
#

also join the balance discord for rotation tips etc. they are an optimization discord (ykno, because enrage timers exist and kinda force people to learn their jobs to advance)

#

you can import with the custom launcher but you need someone to share it with you or find one

polar hound
#

it isnt bad with a group that knows how to react properly. all tanks are great tanks, DRK is always great because again, most savage stuff is heavily magic damage

upper cove
#

I might have gotten the misconception. But superbolide doesn't kill you if you're not healed to full correct?

polar hound
#

it does not

upper cove
#

Thats great to know

polar hound
#

you just shoot yourself then go to 1hp and need to heal up

#

!action superbolide

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Superbolide** : lvl 50 GNB (360.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces HP to 1 and renders you impervious to most attacks.
Duration: 8s

upper cove
#

Every job I've played so far has been really fun and viable in every dungeon I've ran (still early stormblood)

#

Only havent tried GNB and DNC

#

!action living dead

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Living Dead** : lvl 50 DRK (300.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s

polar hound
#

Warrior is often used a LOT because their invuln is kinda busted in that it has such a short cooldown too

#

So some/most fights that require a tank swap can completely ignore the tank swap due to that

primal ermine
#

The down side to WAR is its gearing tho

upper cove
#

I seee

polar hound
#

Kinda yeah. Warr takes different melds than the other tanks because of its Inner Release

upper cove
#

Is the hold down effect from holmgang important?

#

At my level it hasn't seen much use

polar hound
#

but there are omnitanking sets

#

no it was actually buffed a LOT with shb

#

it used to chain you and the enemy to a spot..now it doesnt and bosses would be immune

upper cove
#

!action holmgang

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Holmgang** : lvl 42 MRD WAR (240.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Brace yourself for an enemy onslaught, preventing most attacks from reducing your HP to less than 1.
Duration: 8s
When a target is selected, halts their movement with chains.

polar hound
#

so warr couldnt move til holmgang went away in SB and such..now they can move with it active so its nice

upper cove
#

Itz a great buff for sure

polar hound
#

ye, used to chain you+them and only last 6s but shb buffed it nicely.

#

240s cooldown compared to the others. PLD is 7minutes cd.

upper cove
#

I cant to see what EW brings to all.the jobs. AST especially

#

I say this but I havent experienced any of the 80 toolkit

#

I'll get there 🤣

polar hound
#

but by far and large the best 'invuln' because it's an actual invuln and thus allows you to not get debuffs because you have to tank damage to have debuff applied. heh

upper cove
#

Agreed

polar hound
#

yee that's discussion stuff though but i can help with any tank woes/questions ^^

upper cove
#

I play my PLD the most out of all jobs

#

Cant wait to get my magic rotation

polar hound
#

a tip for when you do, especially the instant cast trait+holy circle in dungeons

#

start off your pulls with your magic window/spamming that. all of your other aoe stuff gives you MP back and well ofcourse the magic dps is way more than the spinning physical aoes

upper cove
#

Got it

polar hound
#

and uh if you have a WHM, please wait for them to spam Holy at least 4-5 times as it stuns enemies so

#

if you use cds during that time, youre wasting them. especially prevalent on DRK using TBN

#

(and arms length wont last long enough for the diminishing returns on the stun so 100% wasted)

upper cove
#

I'm aware of that. But usually when queuing with pubs. I'd still use my cds the first few pulls and see how the whm plays

polar hound
#

but that slow is chefs kiss on biiiig pulls

faint flare
upper cove
polar hound
#

yeah fair assumption! i try to ask my healer if theyre good with big pulls at the start..or just try one and see how it goes

#

!action arm's length

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Arm's Length** : lvl 32 GLA PGL MRD LNC ARC PLD MNK WAR DRG BRD ROG NIN MCH DRK SAM GNB DNC (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier nullifying most knockback and draw-in effects.
Duration: 6s
Additional Effect: Slow +20% when barrier is struck
Duration: 15s

upper cove
#

Ah I should start doing that

faint flare
#

Arms length is an attack slow

polar hound
#

^

upper cove
#

I know about the slow

#

Just not familiar with the term 'chefs kiss'

I only have issue down to specific fights. Espexially the EX and savage stuff

polar hound
#

there is a LOT of outdated info out there (10+yr old game) so ykno doesnt hurt to verify

upper cove
#

Oh one thing about tank swapping. @polar hound. Am I correct that these are the steps. Assuming MT wants to pass enmity to OT

  1. MT provoke boss > shirk OT
  2. OT provoke
#

Yep im in the balance!

#

But its a lot of lvl.80 stuff so I'm waiting to get there firdt

polar hound
#

no

#

that's not how shirk work

#

provoke and then shirk always

#

so OT would provoke, then MT would shirk to them

upper cove
#

Ah ok so the MT provoke is unnecessary

polar hound
#

only the tank who needs aggro for the swap would provoke

upper cove
#

I've read somewhere that shirk passes a %. I rmb seeing someone else saying MT provoke first to shirk maximum enmity

polar hound
#

so if you are MT and get tankbustered/vuln, OT would voke and you would shirk to them

upper cove
#

I guess that was bad advice

faint flare
#

That was for circle shirking

polar hound
#

yeaaaaa

#

circle shirking in SB was necessary

faint flare
#

When aggro management actually existed

upper cove
#

Ohhh

polar hound
#

cause i had to fight whm for aggro on EVERYTHING

#

overhealing aggro was stupid insane.

upper cove
#

Ok so now its very straight forward, one provokes one shirks

polar hound
#

yep

upper cove
#

Got it

polar hound
#

voke even now gives you a slight aggro lead where it didnt before but shirk is still necessary unless your rotation is perfect.

upper cove
#

Understood

polar hound
#

in the case that shirk is on cd or w.e.. can just turn off tank stance and let them get the lead

upper cove
#

Got it.

polar hound
#

SHB buffed tank stance a lot. we used to have to stance dance (tank stance reduced our dps by 10-20%) heh

upper cove
#

Generally speaking, as the OT, when should I turn on my stance? Is it the tank swap moment or should I turn it on earlier

#

Assuming no adds

polar hound
#

after the opener is safe

upper cove
#

Got it

polar hound
#

just incase the mt dies and so dps/heal dont get whacked

upper cove
#

👍 👍 👍

polar hound
#

also some fights do require both tanks to be in #1 and #2 aggro spots for split tank busters

#

but same thing really...just wait for the opener to be over and should be good to go.

upper cove
#

Noted!

#

Thanks so much guys

What if dungeons require higher than 400 before that?

as long as you arent splitting msq between multiple jobs

at level 79 msq(technically 80 cause heh role quests are required) you get a set of gear too

Luckily for me, MNK and SAM uses the same gear type 🤣 using MNK for early SB, and SAM for later SB. Weeb reasons

If your gear in Trusts is like, 2-3 levels behind, does it make a big difference in time spent in-dungeon?

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

crystal bluff
#

And chocobo saddle bagpretty early as well

polar hound
#

some use FC chests and such for extra storage but yeaaa...they charge +2$ for additional retainers beyond the first 2 which are free

#

if you have a trusted friend you can mail them a buncha stuff back and forth too but ppl usually do that with maps cause limitations

gleaming sail
#

do you need to move stuff back and forth between your inventory and retainers/chocobo saddlebags to be able to craft with them?

What’s max materia rank I can use for level 70? My 400 ilevel BLU

all depends on your servers economy and which you have..generally speaking things on free trial arent hard to obtain so prolly not much. as long as an item doesnt state "market prohibited" you can try.

should be VI/6 for blue

@polar hound Is there any way to look at a server's marketboard outside of the game?

I mean if you wanna share an inventory pic i can prolly help you toss stuff away lol but otherwise general rule of thumb is just farm a buncha extra job quest items and then sell them

polar hound
violet meteor
#

I mean, the spot you're standing in the photo is completely safe lol

leaden ginkgo
#

@polar hound im away from pc right now. Brb

polar hound
#

been awhile since i ran ruby, everyone panicked and followed it around but yea its safe op

violet meteor
#

Yeah, where he is in the photo, slightly to the left of an intersection of two circles is a completely safe spot

polar hound
#

works better if you bait the magitek lines to one side first but isnt terribly hard mech

violet meteor
#

Typically my groups don't have issues with helioclaw but they all die to his dash attacks

plain python
#

what would be a good setup for DPS to farm Bojza Fate and Critical event in general?

faint flare
#

Stuff that increases your damage

need to progress bojza story by clearing Dalriada. i read the wiki conditions for its spawn. how do i quickly set myself up for it? join a busy instance and pray for the 90min respawn? keep leaving and joining until i enter a fresh instance for the 60min timer?

polar hound
#

Join an instance and ask when/if it has spawned yet

@polar hound Back. Here is my inventory. Some points to note:

  1. The Saddle Bag is my dedicated 'Pantry' for culinarian stuff. (Being free trial means I have to run over all of Eorzea 6+ times just to gather ingredients for 1 dish. The ores are just temporarily there while I level the other crafting classes.)

  2. The first tab is temp hold + Bank via allagan pieces. (Again, holding crafting stuff I might need later) (Bank because we have a 300k gil limit).

jade willow
#

at what level to start doing potd for leveling?

storm kelp
modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

???

polar hound
#

all of this can be destroyed/tossed aside from the cordials and gysahl greens

modest igloo
polar hound
#

I'll be real with you, you can ignore CUL and FSH until later on also.

tacit pelican
#

I have enough thingies for 5.55 final ast relic, but no other jobs at the same step, worth to turn in or keep it to farm more for once I reach it on other jobs/weapons?

polar hound
#

they dont compliment other crafters nearly as much as the others

storm kelp
#

nvm i lucked into a instance with Dalriada! YAY!

leaden ginkgo
#

As in the boosts arent good enough?

polar hound
#

what boosts

modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

Ooh, I see.

polar hound
#

those are just various levels of potions that really have no effect on you and at 80 you'll get much better

#

Normal quality is usually shit to begin with so any NQ stuff can usually be tossed

leaden ginkgo
#

I can only go up to 60 for now. Can I even access it?

faint flare
polar hound
#

also all of your low level materias can be tossed

#

infact, nearly everything in this tab can be tossed.

modest igloo
#

It’s in HW so free trail accounts can use it

polar hound
#

you dont need any of that, and if you did, you dont have nearly enough of any of it.

#

glam prisms can be saved tho

#

and moogle tomes ofc

leaden ginkgo
#

How many materia do you need for the lvl50 crafting class quests then?

#

lvl3 ones, I mean

polar hound
#

my biggest advice would be to drop and ignore CUL for now. and yes once you reach 20+ on crafter you can go to Ishard Restoration/Firmament to powerlevel them

tacit pelican
polar hound
#

you have a LOT of random cul shit and honestly it doesnt give you much to help other crafters so.

mystic tapir
#

honest to gods... i never know what I can sell or keep

polar hound
#

there are a lot of items in this game, thats understandable.

#

but generally speaking until you're 60/70+ most items hold little to no value if you can just...gather them

proud willow
#

I forget if we have a "Shop Selling Price:" faq entry

polar hound
#

higher levels can gather way more of those items and all HQ so lol

proud willow
#

but if "Shop Selling Price:" appears in the tooltip for an item, there is a vendor that sells it

leaden ginkgo
#

Via skills?

polar hound
#

yep

proud willow
#

so there is no point whatsoever in hanging onto those

polar hound
#

higher level crafters can press 1 button and HQ lower level items also

#

but yeah drop CUL for now, toss those cpl pages of stuff i mentioned and keep stockin up on allagan pieces to hoard gil

mystic tapir
#

i gotta spend a day selling these usless items through the Valet

polar hound
#

do your GC daily turnins and once 20+ look into the firmament

#

wdym Tehnam?

#

you can go to your retainer and have them sell stuff from your inventory at merchant price

mystic tapir
#

Retainer

#

that's the word

#

I call them Valets

#

this is my personal Valet

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooooh, I see. And just to confirm, those skills are below lvl60, right?

polar hound
#

slaves w.e lol. you mean on the market board i assume?

mystic tapir
#

yeah

#

the retainers can just sell them for a base price if it's better than market price

polar hound
#

there are different ranks of those skills in varying strengths but i believe SB+ is where you'll get the ones i mentioned. I was moreso just proving a point that mostly anything you get pre-60 is gonna be pretty little in value.

mystic tapir
#

i've been slowly doing that

polar hound
#

yeah they can act like a merchant

#

i wouldn't hoard anything that isnt HQ already though.

#

especially CUL stuff cause as you see....that's like 50% of your issue lol

leaden ginkgo
#

@polar hound Okay. Thank you so much!

queen sand
#

hello, can i farm company seals infinitely using the roulettes? (if i meet the adventurer in need requirements)

polar hound
#

np, if you need more info about the firmament i would highly advise grabbing the DoH role in #612757637813239808 and check the pins in #doh-dol-lounge ..Wynne has some nice stuff pinned there

polar hound
devout lichen
#

does mch just not use their 1-2-3 combo in their rotation? cuz any rotation I find just doesn't use them, but my guildmates say that you do use them so I must be looking at the wrong thing

polar hound
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
polar hound
#

highly suggest joining the balance and checking the MCH resources there, that sounds ludicrous that you dont use your combo ever.

devout lichen
#

well, cant click the link

polar hound
#

uhh sec

devout lichen
#

thanks

queen sand
little swift
#

simple answer to that is yes you use 123 to get mroe gauge

#

you can't constantly be in hyper charge/ using drill/air anchor

deep patrol
#

Which ones better for sam?

faint flare
#

What else would you even be doing on machinist.... It's basically unsaid to do your combo

faint flare
#

99.9% of the time

deep patrol
#

Wasn't sure if lower crit would be better over determ

faint flare
#

More strength is significant more damage

#

Don't overvalued substats

#

You don't care for substats until you're max ilvl

crystal bluff
#

Until you get to endgame, higher ilvl is pretty much gonna be your best
Especially a 30 ilvl difference

#

Though at 60 you'll want to get the augmented shire set, once you finish 3.0

devout lichen
#

I must be blind but I only see opener rotations

faint flare
#

Outside of openers you literally just spam your combos and press shit on Cooldown

#

And dont overcap gauges

lethal cape
#

How do I toggle walk/run?

#

On m+kb

faint flare
#

Your openers align stuff so that you can just use it on Cooldown

devout lichen
#

oh right, no idea why I didn't think of that

#

thought it would have a strict rotation like monk too

#

past the opener

faint flare
#

Even for Monk, outside the opener is just general upkeep

#

Keep your buffs up, keep dot up

#

Use shit on Cooldown

#

Alternate dragon kick and bootshine

polar hound
#

(sorry i got muted cause the mch guide has a homosexual slur in the link)

#

but it's listed in the balance

polar hound
faint flare
#

Openers in general are designed for alignment to just use shit on Cooldown and just have general upkeep until stuff Lines back up for the burst again

polar hound
#

^^^ Buff windows in xiv are multiplicative so keeping things lined up with those (every 1-2mins) is a huge gain.

polar hound
#

I think you need 2nd sargeant to turnin gear for seals

devout lichen
#

should be easy then, I figured out the monk rotation before I even looked it up cuz it was obvious

polar hound
#

green quality+ gear fwiw

faint flare
#

You can think of rotations are maintainance...keep the buffs you set up, don't overcap gauges, use things as you get it for free damage and all

polar hound
#

gap closers etc

#

if it has potency it usually is used, usually

faint flare
#

The only thing about mch is don't hypercharge when Drill/ hotshot(air anchor) is 8s or lower, otherwise you'll delay their uses

#

That's the only real think to keep in mind

vapid spoke
#

What's the best way to gain MGP?

!faq mgpguide

MGP Guide

/

polar hound
#

The Make it Rain MGP event is soon?? ish

#

or at least was mentioned, lemme check

faint flare
#

Next month

#

July

polar hound
#

ahh yeah so if you wanna wait til then, mgp gain will be doubled but doesnt hurt to do ^ that stuff til then anyway

#

there's also an FC buff for MGP gain but usually fcs ignore it.. we use it per request during the event

south kestrel
#

where in the golden saucer can i attent the chocobo events?

polar hound
#

also your Wondrous Tails should offer some variant of MGP at some ranks. and Moogle tomes can buy you some mgp also.

vapid spoke
#

Do you have to be Lv 61 to enter HOH?

polar hound
#

yes

#

fates in the lochs or smth can help you get there if you're outta other options

gleaming finch

cool, I guess i'll try not to die of bored with the grind haha

#

any tips for healing besides clicking on party member's names on the left bar to easily select and heal them?

faint flare
#

F keys by default on keyboard

#

Targets that party slot

gleaming finch
#

oh that's nice!

#

any other HUD / keyboard tips?

faint flare
#

Just get comfortable binds where you can just snap your fingers to use a skill without thinking

gleaming finch
#

cool thanks, i've put all the heals in comfortable places

foggy viper
#

Is WAR supposed to hit a weird Beast Gauge number (like 60/90) around your subsequent ST dmg buff refresh?

raven sage
#

@spiral inletIn case you're still wondering, the shield did used to scale solely off of the drk's hp but at 10% instead of the original 20%. It was changed to target's hp with shb

spiral inlet
#

Thanks

pine kindle

I know mch is top tier for potd, but what about tank and healer?

manic rune
modest igloo
#

I found AST to be good in a group setting, and GNB/DRK decent as well

little swift
#

Every job has cleared potd now afaik

solid fog
#

I dont want solo, in a party

manic rune
#

oh you didn’t specify solo

#

then every job is viable

leaden ginkgo
#

you cant revive on boss stage floor 50 potd ?

If its a party going in as a standard light party is fine

solid fog

But i still wanna gather the best jobs in the party

I i was wondering whats a good combo for miner? blacksmith or goldsmith

Recommend leveling all crafters simultaneously as they’re interdependent

There’s no one “good combo”
